  1. Test drove gen 2 R1S today (PDM, Max) -- Initial Pros & Cons Review

    With a high residual in a lease I bet your payments aren’t much!
  2. Changing my name on my profile

    Speaking of “names” it appears some people who have named their cars have some awesome names-like EVelynn!! Mine is Vivian. Anyone else?
  3. Alexa stopped working - 2024 R1T

    This happened to me when Vivian (the R1S was new. About 3 times. The instant fix is a quick infotainment reset- press down on left and right farthest outter steering wheel buttons for about 15 seconds and it resets. I don’t necessarily mind no Alexa BUT that also cuts off the navigation voice...

  5. Biggest downgrade for Gen2 R1?

    Totally understand. I liked the ride on the test drive and it hasn’t changed. Sure, sometimes I feel it could be smoother, and for sure there is some more wind noise than I prefer at higher speed, but I view all of that as getting what I bargained for without any surprises. Everytime I think of...
  6. Gen 2 Rivian R1 - Real Life Pictures & Impressions

    Just this week was pretty deep in some Miami areas. No issues whatsoever-G1 R1S QM performed like a champ. Saw lots of stranded Tesla’s and lots of cars in general being towed.
  7. Biggest downgrade for Gen2 R1?

    My opinion sees it quite different than any downgrades. I tested the 24 G1 R1S QM, loved it and thought the lease offer was remarkable-so I selected it. Now, they have made some non-updatable features on a new model which definitely costs more. Personally, I feel grateful to get any OTA upgrades...
  8. Next Batch of NACS Adapters Shipping to Rivian Owners!

    I received an A2Z adapter on May 5 and drove cross country. The charging options are dramatically different although those Tesla chargers get crowded. It’s night and day for peace of mind with the adapter. My advice FWIW is for anyone driving any distance buy the A2Z charger and don’t look...
  9. Another benefit of upcoming blind spot view

    I’m slightly confused. When reading about the updated “turn signal indicators “ I’m not sure if that references the green arrows on the drivers screen OR the rear lights? A search of turn signal indicators reveals the rear lights visible to others. I can’t determine which thus update addresses?
  10. Test drove gen 2 R1S today (PDM, Max) -- Initial Pros & Cons Review

    Did you check the G2 horn? Is it still like a Vespa?
  11. 2024.19.4 Software Update Released => Suspension, Visual Interface, Live Blind Spot Camera, Climate Control, OTA sched, Google Maps Improvements, more

    I’ve had many many cars over 45 years; this is the first vehicle that actually gets better with these OTA adjustments. Most legacy carmakers simply sell and say “get a new one” when they issue a new model year. This is quite impressive to me.
  12. Trading 2023 R1S in for a 2024 R1S

    I missed the free PPF just by a minute too! Oh well, happy with the SUV (despite the minor service issue being worked on as we speak).
  13. Trading 2023 R1S in for a 2024 R1S

    These sounds like perfectly valid reasons to lease at those favorable rates. I think the residuals on the leases is high-but better minds than mine have calculated that % to the penny.
  14. 2024 R1S more Oomph to close final door

    My 24 R1S delivered 3/26 (VIN 38,8xx)had the wind noise from the passenger door but as soon as it rained water dripped in. They accepted the car to the SC pretty quickly and I expect they will fix it. In the interim I’ve purchased a new horn and found a car stereo store to install not far from...
  15. New Rivian Owner

    To hear it is to fully understand it! It’s hard to describe in words…think Vespa.
  16. New Rivian Owner

    The water and the wind noise come from the top of the front passenger window-seems like there’s a gap. I use the other car when it rains now until May 10. We dry it as soon as it happens-so nothing pools up. thanks, but I don’t have a local mechanic. I’ve had cars on warranties for quite some...
  17. New Rivian Owner

    It’s a total mismatch to that auto. It’s truly laughable. I know in the world of problems this really isn’t one, BUT, it is to me.
  18. New Rivian Owner

    Hi All!! Thanks for everyone’s insightful comments, all very useful. I’ve received my RS1 Quad without issue and drove 800+ miles-no significant drama. I’ve even used the Tesla built in converter supercharger without incident. Slightly cheaper than those awful EA chargers. I have a wind...
